Went to the Raven Ridge event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania today.
The big star today was this amazing Siberian Eagle Owl. A subspecies of the Eurasian Eagle Owl, these tend to be some of the largest.
It was very beautiful and impressive, though he did have an eye condition they were treating, so he was a bit squinty.
Interesting this guy and the barn owl got flat perches, where the other birds got something to wrap their toes around.
I think they were just larger and probably heavier in general. All the flat-topped ones were on the ground with the medium and large birds. The Screech and Boobook were on the folding tables.
